THE  MASTER'S  TOUCH 

In  the  still  air  the  music  lies  unheard ; 

In  the  rough  marble  beauty  hides  unseen; 

To  make  the  music  and  the  beauty  needs 

The  Master's  touch,  the  sculptor's  chisel 
keen. 

Great  Master,  touch  us  with  Thy  skillful 
hand ; 

Let  not  the  music  that  is  in  us  die! 

Great  Sculptor,  hew  and  polish  us;  nor  let 

Hidden  and  lost,  Thy  form  within  us  lie! 

Spare  not  the  stroke!  Do  with  us  as  Thou 
wilt! 

Let  there  be  naught  unfinished,  broken, 
marred ; 

Complete  Thy  purpose,  that  we  may  be- 
come 

Thy  perfect  image,  Thou,  our  God  and 
Lord!

A  NEIGHBOR  WORD 

S  THIS  a  "common  bush  afire  with 
God,"  asking  that  we  stand  with 
reverent  feet  to  see  and  hear  some 
word  of  the  Infinite  I  Am  speak- 
ing shiningly  through  it? 

The  outwardness  might  be 
mapped  in  a  few  phrases.  Born  in  New 
England  of  English  and  New  England 
stock,  his  baby  hands  healing  his  sick 
mother,  revealing  something  of  THAT 
which  is  higher  than  we.  Working  on  the 
severe  acres,  that  the  simple  needs  of  home 
might  be  met.  Going  through  the  Civil 
War  as  a  soldier  of  the  Union.  A  drug- 
gist's clerk.  A  druggist  with  his  own  busi- 
ness and  business  associates.  Then  a  physi- 
cian, an  Eclectic  physician,  unable  to  follow 
by  rote  any  system  of  healing — the  Heal- 
ing Truth  somehow  a  living  wisdom  which 
could  speak  through  a  free  soul  and  bless 
through  unfettered  hands. 

In  religion,   also,   Eclectic,   the  bee-wis- 

9 


10  INTRODUCTORY 

dom,  his.  As  the  bee  wings  a  wide  range, 
despising  no  flower,  spurning  no  weed,  get- 
ting from  everywhere  what  its  own  won- 
derful magic  transmutes  into  cells  of  sweet- 
ness and  life,  so  ranged  this  one  through 
religions,  philosophies,  scriptures,  proph- 
ets, saviours,  worships,  the  whole  world 
through,  taking  unto  himself  what  of  truth 
was  true  to  him,  in  the  genius  of  his  own 
soul,  awake  and  alive  to  know,  to  live  and 
to  be,  transmuting  it  into  a  growing  and 
greatening  self,  into  cosmic  urge  and  cosmic 
seeing,  eagering  to  fulfill  the  words  which 
say  "Be  ye,  therefore,  perfect  even  as  your 
Father  which  is  in  heaven  is  Perfect. " 

Always  a  vision  of  service  in  the  found- 
ing of  some  Center  in  the  midst  of  Nature's 
healing  quiet  where  the  sick  would  be 
helped  into  health  again  and  so  taught  to 
be  and  live  that  sickness  no  more  could 
have  any  part  in  them — this  Center,  this 
Institution,  this  University,  named  what- 
ever it  will  be,  the  outflowering  of  this 
consecration  of  a  man  to  God  and  God's 
work  in  that  freedom  of  the  truth  which 
always  is  active  when  it  is  lived. 

Suppose  that  out  of  this  soul's  consecra- 
tion of  himself  there  should  grow  a  Uni- 


MY  COVENANT  11 

versity  of  Life,  would  it  not  be  something 
new  under  the  sun?  A  university,  not  of 
the  head  alone,  and  not  of  the  heart  alone, 
but  a  University  in  which  the  head  feels 
and  the  heart  thinks,  a  University  which 
has  a  spiritual  knowing  at  its  center,  its 
spirit  being  the  spirit  of  Life,  its  animating, 
wise  soul  being  that  indwelling  of  Life  It- 
self which  idealizes  and  actualizes  within 
our  humanity,  a  cosmic  divinity  which  is 
the  regeneration  of  man,  a  University 
whose  teachings  are  in  the  seeing  that  every 
common  thing  is  afire  with  God  and  reveal- 
ing God  as  truth,  as  love,  as  wisdom. 

But  the  Covenant  itself,  with  its  living 
symbols  of  divine  and  human  action  min- 
gled in  oneness,  is  the  outshine  of  the  di- 
vine fire  within  the  man? 

It  was  hot  written  for  others.  It  is  not 
in  the  nature  of  a  public  word.  It  is  the 
intimate  privacy  of  the  soul  in  conversa- 
tion with  itself  about  doing  the  deed  of  a 
life.  As  meditation  it  might  belong  to  the 
cloister.  As  action  it  might  belong  to  com- 
merce. As  the  voicing  of  a  soul,  thinking 
out  loud  with  itself,  it  belongs  to  the  within 
where  God  abides;  it  belongs  to  the  with- 
out where  man  lives  and  strives  out  of  the 


12  INTRODUCTORY 

many  broken  arcs  to  form  the  perfect  sky 
wherethrough  the  sun  of  joy  may  shine.  It 
belongs  to  that  which  some  would  call 
worship.  It  belongs  to  that  which  some 
would  call  work.  In  it  these  two  hemi- 
spheres unite,  making  the  one  planet  of  a 
consecrated  man,  holding  its  orbit  amid 
other  worlds  of  work  and  worship. 

This  consecration  is  big  like  a  world,  for 
it  includes  the  world  in  its  vision  of  service. 
In  its  bigness  it  would  hold  the  humblest 
life  in  its  hallowed  regard,  even  as  the 
world  gives  of  the  grace  of  itself  to  the 
last  grass  blade  born  to  be  lost  amid  the 
multitudinous  green  of  the  year,  even  as 
the  world-spirit  thunders  in  the  cataract 
and  sings  in  the  throat  of  the  wren  whose 
song  of  love  is  lost  in  the  rush  and  roar  of 
the  waters.  This  covenant  is  big  like  the 
sky  through  which  light  falls  shiningly,  for 
it  includes  the  sky  and  the  Sky  behind  the 
sky  through  which  Divine  Love  shines  its 
Divine  Truth  over  and  into  the  minds  of 
men. 

It  is  cosmic;  it  is  universal;  and  yet  inti- 
mate and  individual.  It  is  of  God,  the 
infinite  and  of  man,  the  finite,  and  seeks 
that  flame-line  where  God  the  infinite  be- 


MY  COVENANT  13 

comes  finite  and  man  the  finite  becomes 
infinite. 

It  is  not  literature.  It  is  life.  As  liter- 
ature, its  amplitudes  could  be  made  as 
many  as  the  leaves  on  the  tree,  as  multi- 
tudinous as  the  roses  in  a  summer. 

As  life,  it  is  just  life,  and  will  take  life 
to  understand  it  and  in  living,  to  amplify  it. 

At  my  suggestion  it  is  given  to  the  world 
just  as  it  is  and  has  been  used  by  Dr. 
Brackett  in  meeting  his  problems  and  over- 
coming his  difficulties,  in  dreaming  his 
dreams  and  awakening  them  into  realiza- 
tion, and  so  without  editing,  without 
change. 

It  goes  forth,  therefore,  as  a  life-docu- 
ment. It  is  an  experienced  sailor's  chart. 
It  is,  also,  his  ocean.  He  can  sail  well  by 
the  compasses  of  men,  knowing  their  vari- 
ations. He  can  sail  better  by  the  stars, 
knowing  that  they  make  eternal  circuits 
through  that  Eternity  in  which  being  cen- 
ters, in  which  life  lives. 

Not  all  will  understand.  Not  all  will 
bless.  Those  who  have  caught  something 
of  the  first  streaks  of  the  morning  of  Man's 
new  and  better  day  will  growingly  under- 
stand and  growingly  be  blessed  as  they 


14  INTRODUCTORY 

vision  and  live  the  truth  which  this  soul 
voices  to  itself.  In  my  heart  there  is  a 
shine  from  its  light.  In  your  life  there 
may  be  a  day  from  its  shining. 

If  you  are  ready  to  build  your  temple 
and  would  see  how  another  has  builded, 
enter.  If  you  would  know  how  a  search- 
ing soul  has  found,  read  and  think.  If  you 
would  live  the  great  life,  see  here  how 
great  life  thinks. 

If  you  would  have  the  sanctity  and  cer- 
tainty of  the  Eternal  Life  and  your  eternal 
meanings,  tarry  here  until  you  can  under- 
stand, and,  then,  write  your  own  covenant 
with  your  soul  and  the  Soul  of  your  soul, 
consecrating  yourself  to  high  and  true  and 
tender  and  earnest  living — unto  the  living 
of  the  clean,  the  helpful  and  eternal  life 
here  and  now  and  forever  and  wherever. 

This  you  will  find  is  blessedness. 

When  some  years  ago,  in  an  intimacy 
of  friendship,  moving  through  the  higher 
realities  and  visions,  Dr.  Brackett  read  to 
me  what  was  but  written  for  his  own  eyes, 
I  urged  that  he  give  it  to  the  world  for  the 
help  of  the  world,  convinced,  as  I  was  and 
am,  that  a  life-word  like  this  is  better  often 
than  a  literary  word,  than  a  word  from 


MY  COVENANT  15 

the  imagination,  with  no  definite  life-basis 
to  its  truth, — better  for  that  stirring  of 
mind  and  soul  which  endeavors  after  the 
perfect 

Now  that  the  time  of  its  going  forth  is 
here,  I  have  written  these  neighbor  words ; 
and  I  am  thinking  of  those  whom  it  will 
help,  especially  of  the  young.  If  they  can 
hear  and  feel  and  see  and  heed,  they  can 
make  their  own  covenant  and  live  a  life 
measuring  out  success  and  satisfaction  and 
blessedness. 

This  ideal  of  Life  will  serve  many  who 
have  no  chart  of  Life's  Mysteries  to  guide 
them,  if  they  but  hear  the  voice  which  this 
man  heard,  a  voice  which  is  speaking 
within  every  human  soul,  and  obey,  as  he 
did,  when  he  covenanted  and  dedicated 
body,  mind,  soul  and  spirit  to  Love  and 
Service.

MY  LIFE  COVENANT* 

April  8,  1896 
Today  I  inaugurate  the  following: 

Y   COVENANT   with   my   HIGHER 
SELF — My  Definite  Life-Work. 
1846—1853—1867—1896. 

Years  of  Work,  of  Thought,  of 
Struggle  with  my  Lower  Nature 
was  required,  commencing  early 
in  this  Incarnation  (1853),  but  more  de- 
fined since  Sept.  20th,  1867. 

But  the  realization,  up  to  the  present 
moment,  is  worth  a  thousandfold  its  cost 
in  work,  in  thought,  in  struggle. 

I  have  ever  desired  to  become  Self-cen- 
tered, Self-controlled  and  Self-sufficient, 
and  to  manifest  Divinity  from  within. 

I  learned  that  this  could  be  attained  by 
controlling  Nature,  both  external  and  in- 
ternal. 

By  affirming — I  can  !  I  will !  I  dare  ! 
I  do! 


*This   Covenant   is   printed   as   written    without   change,   in 
phrasing,  punctuation  or  use  of  capitals.

MY  COVENANT  17 

By  living  pure  in  Thought,  Speech  and 
Action. 

LEAD  THOU  me  on — "Lead  me,  O 
Lord,  in  thy  righteousness." — Psm.  5-8. 

"THY  WILL  be  Done."— Matt.  26-42. 

"But  there  is  a  Spirit  in  Man,  and  the 
inspiration  of  the  Almighty  giveth  them 
understanding." — Job.  32-8. 

"Teach  me  to  do  Thy  Will;  for. Thou 
art  my  God;  Thy  Spirit  is  good;  lead  me 
into  the  land  of  uprightness." — Psm. 
143-10. 

On  the  doors  and  walls  of  the  Temple 
the  word  "Try"  is  written. 

I  will  never  lose  confidence,  patience,  or 
perseverance  in  this, 

My  Definite  Life-Work. 

THE  SUPREME  BEING 

He  is  the  one  Creator,  Regulator  and 
Destroyer  of  the  Universe  and  all  it  con- 
tains, as  well  as  the  most  vital  element, 
called  the  Self  or  Spirit. 

The  Foundation  of  MY  LIFE  is  Ex- 
pressed in  Spirit,  Deity,  Being,  Reality, 
Unity,  Energy,  Bliss,  First  Cause,  Divine 
Self,  Divine  Mind,  The  Great  Breath,  One 


18  MY  LIFE-WORK 

God, One  Law,  One  Substance,  One  Power, 
One  Life,  One  Existence,  One  Supreme, 
Universal  Divine  Essence,  Universal  Su- 
preme Consciousness. 

This  Oneness,  this  Unity,  this  Founda- 
tion is  manifested  in  Analysis,  Activity, 
Comparison,  Contentment,  Concentration, 
Contemplation,  Consciousness,  Color,  Dis- 
crimination, Faith,  Force,  Health,  Heat, 
Happiness,  Intuition,  Illumination,  Knowl- 
edge, Light,  Love,  Law,  Mind,  Matter, 
Meditation,  Motion,  Opulence,  Peace, 
Power,  Rest,  Realization,  Substance,  Syn- 
thesis, Thought,  Wholeness,  Wisdom, 
Will. 

THE  AT-ONE-MENT  WITH  THE  ABOVE  is 
FINAL  EMANCIPATION 

With  the  above  Ideal  ever  before  me, 
and  knowing  that  it  can  be  achieved,  I  will 
to  walk  the  Path,  to  Live  the  Life,  to  At- 
tain IT. — To  Love,  To  Know,  To  Dare, 
To  Will,  To  Do,  and  To  Be  Silent. 

In  this  PATH  I  will  exercise  attention, 
Ambition,  Abstraction,  Aspiration,  Con- 
centration, Contemplation,  Courage,  Dis- 
crimination, Enlightenment,  Faith,  Medi- 
tation, Silence,  Sanctification,  Patience, 
Power  of  Will  and  Strength. 


MY  COVENANT  19 

Thought  is  the  product  of  Mind;  it  is  a 
rate  of  Vibration  sent  forth  from  the  Uni- 
versal Mind,  and  therefore  is  Force.  I 
will  direct  it  by  Attention,  Expectation, 
Desire,  Hope,  Belief,  Faith,  Courage, 
Perseverance,  Seeing,  Hearing,  Feeling 
and  Will. 

This  Path,  in  Action,  will  lead  to  the 
Higher  Consciousness — Cosmic  Conscious- 
ness— or,  in  other  words,  if  rightly  used, 
will  bring  me  to  all  I  need  of  either  Ma- 
terial, Mental,  or  Spiritual  character. 

As  I  proceed,  I  will  constantly  Affirm, 
To  Love,  To  Know,  To  Will,  To  Dare, 
To  Do,  To  Be  Silent,  and  to  be  purer  in 
Thought,  purer  in  Speech,  and  purer  in 
Deed  for  every  day  that  comes.  "I  can,1' 
"I  will,"  "I  dare,"  "Idol" 

The  Four  Great  Working  Tools,  or 
Methods  of  Mind,  which  I  am  using  for 
the  purpose  of  connecting  my  normal  con- 
sciousness with  the  Universal  Conscious- 
ness, are  the  processes  known  as  Philo- 
sophical Contemplation,  Meditation,  Cre- 
ation and  Concentration. 

I  use  the  Power  of  Will  within  me,  at 
every  step  to  assist  me.  WILL  determines 
the  direction  of  Thought.  The  concrete- 


20  MY  LIFE- WORK 

ness  and  intensity  of  thought,  feeling,  and 
imagination,  determine  the  promptness  of 
the  response.  Therefore,  with  this  found- 
ation, I  will  to  work  out  my  own  Salva- 
tion !  I  will  to  develop ! 

I  will  to  use  all  the  Love  and  Knowledge 
that  comes  to  me,  for  the  purpose  of  find- 
ing my  IDEAL.  By  Living  The  Life,  my 
Ideal  will  become  known  to  me. 

I  know  I  am  being  helped,  and  shall 
ever  be  helped,  by  the  Great  Ones  who 
teach  the  Laws  of  Being.  Therefore,  I 
will  to  be  quiet,  calm  and  tranquil;  kind, 
amiable  and  pleasant;  cheerful,  gentle, 
noble  and  generous  to  all  mankind,  and  to 
all  animals.  I  will  be  energetic,  ambitious 
and  striving.  It  is  the  service  of  the  Sub- 
jective Mind  that  I  will  to  attain  and  pos- 
sess in  its  fulness. 

My  demands  are  made  of  Universal 
Consciousness,  the  Father-Mother  God, 
namely : 

I  desire  to  evolve  the  power  of  Spiritual 
Vision;  I  desire  to  attain  spiritual  percep- 
tion; I  desire  to  reach,  by  direct  communi- 
cation, the  Infinite  Force  itself, — call  it 
Energy,  Power,  Spirit,  or  God. 

I  know  I  am  in  touch  with  the  Supreme 


MY  COVENANT  21 

Power  of  the  Universe  through  spirit  mes- 
sengers. Back  of  all  this  lies  the  wonder- 
ful Infinite-Force  which  I  desire  to  contact 
direct. 

To  do  this,  I  will  follow  the  Path  of 
Devotion,  of  Veneration,  of  Homage,  and 
maintain  it — thus  earning  the  right  of  con- 
tact. 

I  desire,  at  will,  to  go  out  of  the  body 
and  meet  Higher  Intelligences — Cosmic 
Beings — to  converse  with  Them,  having 
full  knowledge,  insight,  judgment,  and  un- 
derstanding, and  return  at  will. 

I  desire,  at  will,  to  send  my  thoughts 
clearly,  telepathically,  to  those  in  the  flesh 
—as  I  deem  best — that  I  may  the  better 
heal,  instruct  and  serve  Thee. 

I  will  ever  hold  the  highest  and  noblest 
of  desires.  I  will  acquaint  myself  with 
the  Spirit  Forces  about  me.  I  will  aid 
these  forces  in  doing  their  best  work  by 
right  thinking,  right  speech,  and  right 
action  on  my  part. 

I  will,  along  this  Path,  develop  purity  of 
character,  nobility  of  life,  compassion  and 
tenderness  of  thought,  through  the  devel- 
opment of  the  Powers  of  the  Soul  and  the 
Inner  Forces  of  the  God-man;  I  will  ever 


22  MY  LIFE-WORK 

be  devoted,  true,  brave  and  firm,  attain- 
ing true  Spiritual  Vision;  the  power  to 
heal,  to  teach  and  to  express  in  due  season 
— through  Divine  Grace. 

I,  therefore,  dedicate  my  personal  will  to 
Him-Her,  together  with  all  thought,  speech 
and  action.  I  will  strive  to  get  rid  of  the 
strength  of  the  personal  idea — personality. 
I  will  develop  that  intuition  that  will  bring 
to  me  all  self-knowledge.  I  will  purify  the 
heart,  so  that  the  Powers  and  Forces  of 
Spirit  will  lend  themselves  to  me.  I  will 
qualify  myself  to  quit  the  body  at  will  and 
return  to  the  body  at  will.  I  will  obtain  the 
clew  to  my  own  real  nature,  which  is  divine 
and  eternal. 

The  seven  Great  Enemies  of  Mankind 
are  Anger,  Greed,  Lust,  Envy,  Vanity, 
Fear  and  Worry.  I  will,  by  Control  of 
Thought,  drive  away  Anger,  Greed,  Lust, 
Envy,  Vanity,  Fear,  Worry,  Doubt,  Fret- 
ting and  Regret.  I  will  to  succeed  in  my 
"Life-Work!"  I  will  be  thoroughly  Self- 
reliant,  Self-supporting  and  Independent — 
For  Thou  will  lead  me  on. 

I  will  ever  control  and  exercise  my  mind, 
which  will,  by  hope,  faith,  patience,  and 
persistent  determination,  lead  me  to  per- 


MY  COVENANT  23 

manent  health,  opulence,  honor  and  happi- 
ness that  lie  involved  in  my  IDEAL.  I  love 
my  Ideal  I  It  is  Truth ! 

I  will  never  grumble,  complain,  whine 
or  murmur.  I  will  be  What  I  Will  to  Be ! 
My  Life  Must  Be  One  of  Work,  Love, 
Service,  Success  and  Happiness! 

My  Mistakes  and  Errors  will  not  dis- 
courage me ;  but  I  will  profit  by  them,  and 
make  them  serve  as  Stepping-Stones  to 
Truth  and  Success — to  my  IDEAL.  They 
are  my  Teachers  in  the  School  of  Life. 

As  a  man  thinketh  in  his  Heart,  so  he 
will  be !  We  are  all  Masters  of  Our  Own 
Fate  !  There  is  no  Yesterday,  no  To-Mor- 
row! 

O7VL7  NOW. 

I  will  to  ever  be  active  in  the  Now,  each

I  will  to  increase  my  Power  of  Attention ! 
I  will  to  increase  my  Power  of  Concentra-

ture,  is  the  grandest  thing  in  the  World, 
and  is  the  Heart  of  Heaven.  It  is  to  be 
found  Here  and  Now. 

Thus  wide  shall  be  my  LOVE  !  My 
LIFE!  My  IDEAL! 

My  IDEAL-LOVE  is  the  Great  Love- 
Spirit  of  the  Universe,  the  Universal 
Mother.  She  is  the  Within  of  the  Higher 
Consciousness,  and  her  speech  is  that  of 
the  Mysteries  of  Life. 

United  by  Love  to  Love  is  to  Know  and 
to  reign  in  the  Sacred  Trinity  of  Wisdom, 
Love  and  Understanding — manifesting  in 
a  Healthy  body.  I  will  thus  to  ulearn  to 
walk  with  the  Knowledge  of  the  Spirit 
within  Thee."  "If  we  live  in  the  Spirit,  let 
us  also  walk  in  the  Spirit." 

I  do  live  in  the  Spirit !  I  do  walk  in  the 
Spirit ! 

"What,  know  ye  not  that  your  Body  is 
the  Temple  of  the  Holy  Ghost  which  is  in 
you,  which  ye  have  of  God,  and  ye  are  not 
your  own?" 

"God  is  near  you,  is  with  you,  is  within 
you." 

I  will  acknowledge  no  bondage  but  that 
of  LOVE,  and  of  mine  own  Higher  and  Bet-

ter  Self.     I  will  to  find  the  hidden  way  of 
Soul  into  Spirit,  and  be  Free ! 

The  Hidden  Way  is  the  Infinite  Way — 
The  Kingdom  of  God  is  an  undeveloped 
Kingdom  in  every  Soul,  and  it  waits  for 
the  divine  touch,  before  it  can  develop. 
Thus  will  I  obtain  Liberty  and  Emancipa- 
tion— Liberty  of  Soul — Freedom  of  Spirit 
— Perfect  Rest — Perfect  Peace — Bliss. 
This  is  my  IDEAL!  my  LIFE,  here  and 
now. 

I  will  to  make  my  Life  manifest  as  prac- 
tical Love,  Service,  Charity  and  Good- 
Will,  filled  with  Peace  to  All.  Thus  it  will 
be  noble,  broad,  comprehensive,  grounded 
in  Religion,  Sociology,  Science  and  Phil- 
osophy, and  in  Unity  with  the  Divine  reve- 
lations of  Nature  and  the  Divine  Teach- 
ings of  exalted  Intelligences.  Thus  I  will 
reach  Truth,  which  is  the  blissful  corre- 
spondence of  Thought,  Speech  and  Action 
with  one  another. 

"There  is  no  Religion  Higher  than 
Truth."  It  embraces  Will,  Silence,  Pa- 
tience, Virtue,  Prudence,  Courage,  Faith, 
Justice,  Mercy,  Charity,  Compassion,  De- 
votion, Discrimination,  and  Worship.  God 
is  All  of  Truth — God  is  Spirit — God  is 


26  MY  LIFE-WORK 

Love — God  is  Life — God  is  Universal 
Mind — God  is  Universal  Consciousness — 
God  is  the  Subject  and  Object  of  Mind. 
Wherever  are  life  and  substance,  there 
is  God  within;  wherever  God  is,  there  is 
Being.  The  Universe  is  Existence  and 
Being,  wherein  God  manifests.  As  living 
substance,  God  is  ONE.  As  Life  and 
Substance,  God  is  dual,  or  twain.  He 
is  the  Life,  and  She  is  the  substance. 

God  is  perfect  Love,  perfect  Knowledge, 
perfect  Wisdom,  perfect  Intelligence,  per- 
fect Sympathy,  perfect  Justice  and  Mercy. 
They  also  manifest  as  perfect  Harmony, 
Law  and  Order. 

That  I  may  Heal,  Teach  and  Express, 
I  will,  by  following  this  Path  which  I  have 
marked  out  and  covenanted  with  (having 
herein  made  a  Covenant  to  follow),  come 
into  At-one-ment  with  the  One  Eternal, 
Infinite,  Real-Existence,  the  Supreme 
Logos,  Being,  Consciousness,  Bliss,  the 
Perfect  Self;  the  Pure,  the  Ever-Free,  the 
Almighty,  the  All-Knowing,  the  All-Merci- 
ful, the  Teacher  of  All  Teachers,  from 
Whom  is  the  birth,  continuation  and  disso- 
lution of  the  Universe. 

Potentially — I  am  that  One  I 


MY  COVENANT  27 

I  will  to  reach  the  center  of  the  follow- 
ing ten  Hierarchies:  Wisdom,  Knowl- 
edge, Faith,  Discerning  of  Spirits,  Heal- 
ing, Teaching,  Expression,  Hearing,  See- 
ing and  Feeling.  All  that  comes  to  me 
from  these  Centers,  I  will  manifest  in  my 
"Life-Work."  I  live  but  to  love  and  to 
serve,  to  be  good  and  to  do  good  I 

Love,  with  Wisdom,  is  the  secret  of  Life. 
Love  is  the  great  motive  Power  of  the 
Universe. 

The  three  vital  truths,  underlying  all  re- 
ligions, are  the  Father-Motherhood  of 
God,  the  Brotherhood  of  Man,  and  the 
union  of  the  Subjective  mind  and  the  Ob- 
jective mind.  These  are  the  foundation 
of  my  religious  nature;  they  embrace  the 
Divine  Spirit  of  Love,  Knowledge  and 
Harmony — being  practical  Love  and 
Good-Will  toward  all  that  is. 

The  Torch  of  Life  is  Fed  by  the  oil  of 
Love.  Love  is  the  Oil  of  Life.  I  have 
the  Faith  that  I  shall  realize  all  of  this — 
my  IDEAL. 

I  am  Male  and  Female.  I  have  two 
different  spheres  of  consciousness — one 
from  the  positive  vibrations  of  the  male, 
and  another  from  the  passive,  negative  vi-

bration  of  the  female.  Also,  a  conscious- 
ness from  the  external  sphere  of  the 
natural  world,  and  another  from  the  in- 
terior, or  sphere  of  the  Soul  and  spiritual 
world.  This  is  the  Path  to  LIGHT — the 
Light  of  Truth.  The  Spiritual  Light  that 
reveals  the  Individuality  of  Consciousness, 
Will,  Reason,  and  Freedom,  is  found  when 
the  Subjective  and  Objective  Minds  act  in 
Unity. 

uAsk,  and  it  shall  be  given  you;  seek, 
and  ye  shall  find;  knock,  and  it  shall  be 
opened  unto  you." — Luke  11-9.  "Accord- 
ing to  your  faith  be  it  unto  you." — Matt. 
9-29. 

Knowing  that  I  lack  in  Continuity,  Self- 
Esteem,  Firmness,  Eventuality  or  Memory, 
and  Language,  I  determine  to  stimulate 
them. 

In  memory  I  suggest  that  all  that  I  have 
read  or  studied,  or  may  read  or  study,  shall 
be  remembered  and  clearly  reproduced  in 
language — AT  WILL. 

I  suggest  the  truth  that  I  am  one  with 
the  Infinite  Life,  and  shall  know  and  ex- 
press the  Law  of  this  Infinite  Life,  the 
Positivie  Life,  the  Eternal  Life.  I  shall

sec,  I  feel,  I  know,  I  hear,  I  touch,  interi- 
orly— subjectively.  Wisdom,  Knowledge, 
Faith,  Healing,  and  Discerning  of  Spirits, 
shall  be  the  Gifts  of  this  Infinite  Life,  that 
I  may  the  better  love  and  serve. 

I  will  that  my  Psychic  Nature  shall  be 
Free,  and  act  out  its  own  high  character, 
that  it  shall  become  clearer  in  Intuition  and 
Perception,  and  more  Powerful  in  Execu- 
tion than  when  in  the  ordinary  mental  con- 
dition— the  Objective  Mind. 

I  want  Clairvoyance  and  Clairaudience 
of  the  Highest  Type — having  special  ap- 
plication to  Healing,  to  Teaching,  to  Ex- 
pressing, that  they  may  aid  me  in  Soul  Cul- 
ture, in  Character  Building,  and  in  the  dis- 
cerning of  spirits. 

I  want  to  be  in  conscious  Union  during 
all  these  activities,  on  the  Subjective  Plane 
and  the  Objective  Plane. 

I  want  the  Highest  Love,  Divine  Intui- 
tion, Enlightenment,  Health  of  Body,  Hap- 
piness and  Opulence. 

I  will  to  have  ALL  the  above,  for  they 
belong  to  ME!..  They  are    Now    within 
ME!     I  can  manifest  THEM! 
uWhat  would'st  thou  have,  aspiring  Soul?

IN  THE  SELF  ALL  THINGS  ARE 

I  know  that  I,  as  a  Doctor,  should  rank 
high  in  the  following: 

Combativeness  Destructiveness 

Individuality  Form 

Color  Order 

Hope  Faith 

Patience  Confidence 

Cautiousness  Construction 

Size  Weight 

Calculation  Locality 

Charity  Virtue 

Determination  Power   of   WILL 

I  have  a  fixed  purpose  in  Life.  I  want 
to  be  in  full  Knowledge  of  the  Power  of 
each  of  the  above,  and  to  be  Positive  in  the 
action  of  each.  I  want  to  be  able  to  see 
and  arouse  these  qualities  in  others.  I 
want  to  Heal  by  the  "Word." 

I  know  that  all  the  secrets  of  Nature 
are  revealed  to  the  one  that  wills  to  know 
them.  I  WILL  to  know  ALL!  I  WILL 
thus  to  BECOME  Conscious. 

I  have  these  Powers  within  me,  there- 
fore, I  have  the  right  to  say,  "I  can  and  I 
will!"  Nothing  can  or  shall  hold  me  from 
this  growth,  this  becoming. 


MY  COVENANT  31 

I  will  be  Free !  I  will  trust  the  Higher 
Self  which  is  my  True  Self. 

I  will  have  no  Fear !  I  will  be  Fearless  ! 
I  have  the  Powers  of  a  god  involved  with- 
in my  organization,  my  spiritual  organism. 
I  do  believe  in  their  existence.  I  have  that 
Faith  which  is  the  Soul  of  all  Life.  I  am 
that  very  LIFE!  I  am  WILL  and  I  am 
THOUGHT. 

Will  is  the  primal  and  Mother  Force  of 
all  the  natural  forces  in  Nature.  My  Ideal 
is  a  complex  of  True  Fixed  Ideas  which 
direct  my  activities,  as  herein  defined. 

Biology  says  this  Power,  or  Force,  is 
Life.  Physics  says  it  is  THOUGHT,  or 
ETHERIC  ENERGY,  and  Philosophy  says  it 
is  An  Infinite  Energy  from  which  all 
things  proceed;  Work,  Will,  Feeling  and 
Thought,  together,  in  harmony,  Will  pro- 
duce the  greatest  SUCCESS.  This  will  solve 
the  mystery  of  what  Man  really  Is.  It  is 
Union  with  God,  the  Spirit  that  is  the  In- 
dividualized Spiritual  Soul  in  man.  I  will 
to  reach  this  Union!  I  know  the  Path,  I 
have  seen  the  Light  that  lights  the  Way. 

I  NOW  SPEAK  TO  MY  SUBJECTIVE  MlND 

THE  SELF 


32  MY  LIFE-WORK 

You  are  to  inform  my  Objective  Mind 
of  what  the  disease  is,  and  how  to  treat  it 
physically  or  mentally. 

You  are  to  take  possession  of  the  pa- 
tient's subjective  mind,  and  inform  my  ob- 
jective mind  what  suggestions  to  make  to 
the  patient.  All  this  shall  be  done  in  the 
Master's  name,  in  the  interest  of  the  Soul, 
to  promote  health,  purity  of  mind,  and  jus- 
tice; to  increase  my  Wisdom,  my  Knowl- 
edge, my  Faith,  my  Healing,  and  my  Dis- 
cerning of  Spirits — that  I  may  the  better 
love  and  serve.  A.  U.  M. 

All  power  necessary  to  bring  to  me  all 
the  Good  in  Life,  is  in  ME  ! 

I  affirm  that  I  am  the  Spirit  of  Love ! 
I  live  for  purity  of  Life,  of  Thought,  of 
Speech,  of  Action.  I  have  Purity  of  Char- 
acter and  Nobility  of  Life,  and  manifest 
them  in  every  act.  I  have  Compassion  to- 
ward all.  Tenderness  of  thought,  Broth- 
erhood and  Unity  with  all.  I  do  love 
Truth  and  worship  Justice.  I  cultivate 
Individuality.  Thus  true  progress  and 
spiritual  enlightenment  become  my  lot  and 
add  to  the  best  interests  of  all  with  whom 
I  associate.  I  am  Tolerance — I  am  Tol- 
erant Kindness,  I  am  Bright  Good-Nature, 


MY  COVENANT  33 

I  am  Sweet  Good-Will,  I  am  Good-Rest. 
I  will  talk  gently  and  act  frankly,  and  have 
presence  of  mind  under  all  circumstances. 

Auto-Suggestions:  I  suggest  that  my 
astral,  etheric,  mental  and  dense-body  vi- 
brations are  becoming  harmonious.  All  my 
organs  of  nutrition,  assimilation  and  elim- 
ination are  becoming  harmonious  in  action. 
All  the  vibrations  of  my  nervous  system 
are  becoming  in  harmony  with  the  vibra- 
tions of  the  nutritive,  circulatory  and  ex- 
cretory systems.  I  am  to  remember  that 
all  Power  necessary  to  bring  me  to  all  the 
good  there  is  in  Life,  is  in  me.  I  make 
these  suggestions  to  my  Subjective  Mind, 
whenever  I  find  my  Objective  Mind  Vibrat- 
ing toward  my  Subjective  Mind.  I  am  to 
remember  that  all  this  leads  to  perfect 
harmony  between  the  Subjective  or  Spir- 
itual Mind,  and  the  Objective,  or  Human 
Mind — and  that  this  harmony,  or  Unity, 
is  health  of  body  and  health  of  mind,  with 
full  power  to  Express  the  WORD  for  heal- 
ing, teaching,  and  expressing  in  language; 
and  that  thus  I  am  doing  the  Master's 
Will,  in  thought,  in  speech  and  in  action. 

I  am  never  to  forget  this !  I  am  thus 
always  to  be  in  unity  with  the  Will  of  the 


34  MY  LIFE-WORK 

Infinite  Life.  I  am  that  Life !  One  with 
IT!  I  know  that  I  exist  in  and  from  an 
inexhaustible  supply  of  every  element 
needed  to  make  me  strong  and  happy,  and 
enable  me  to  help  others  in  body,  in  mind 
and  to  unfold  the  Spirit. 

I  know  that  I  must  discern  this  truth 
constantly,  in  order  to  manifest  it!  for  I 
can  only  manifest  that  which  I  see  and  I 
know  and  I  feel.  Thus  I  will  grow  in  De- 
votion, Steadfastness,  and  Gentleness,  and 
attain  the  God-Man  which  I  know  as  the 
Higher  Self. 

MY  PATH  TO  SUCCESS 
I  will  cultivate  the  "I  am" — I  will  ever 
Love  and  Serve — I  will  follow  the  five- 
fold path  of  Desire,  Expectation,  Hope, 
Belief  and  Faith,  leading  to  Success.  I

"Keep  therefore  the  words  of  this  cov- 
enant, and  do  them,  that  ye  may  prosper  in 
all  that  ye  do." — Deut.  39-9. 

My  God  is  the  Principle  of  Truth,  mani- 
festing in  each  of  the  above.  He  is  the 
within  of  them.  In  cultivating  the  above 
Virtues,  or  Positive  Forces,  Divine  Love 
shall  Lead  and  Control  Me. 

To  be  successful  in  my  mind-action,  to 
progress  more  rapidly,  I  will  use  the  fol- 
lowing in  my  Path  to  Success ;  namely, 

First :  I  will  Desire  to  know  the  essence 
and  complete  Power  of  each  of  them. 

Second :  Expectation  that  I  shall  attain 
to  all  this,  and  they  shall  never  leave  me. 

Third:  Hope,  of  a  Divine  Character, 
shall  stimulate  and  inspire  me. 

Fourth :  Belief  that  I  will  achieve  shall 
dominate  me  and  give  me  strength. 


MY  COVENANT  37 

Fifth :  Faith,  equal  to  full  Knowledge, 
shall  be  my  anchor,  all  culminating  in 

Sixth:  Success,  or  the  Knowing:  The 
union  of  Love  and  Knowledge — My 
IDEAL. 

Desire,  long  held  to,  creates  the  condi- 
tions by  which  Expectation,  and  then 
Hope,  and  then  Belief,  become  possible; 
and  from  Belief,  Faith;  and  from  Faith, 
the  Knowing,  or  Success,  which  is  the  At- 
taining, or  the  natural  and  lawful  Fruit — 
My  Ideal.  My  Ideal  is  the  SHE,  within 
the  Him — both  of  them  are  Myself. 

To  reach  this  altitude  of  Success,  where 
my  Ideal  IS,  I  invoke  the  Eternal  and 
Infinite  Spirit  of  Being,  Cause,  Life,  Soul, 
Mind,  Light,  Wisdom,  Knowledge,  Jus- 
tice, Truth,  Substance  and  LOVE. 

Thou  Soul  of  the  Universe,  Creator, 
Sustainer  and  Enlightener  of  Mankind, 
Universal  Consciousness,  Father-Mother 
God — make  me  conscious  of  my  Unity 
with  Thee.  Hear  this,  my  Invocation — 
my  Covenant. 

To  assist  me  in  the  Path,  I  will  avoid  the 
following  Negative  Forces :  Annoyance, 
Anxiety,  Anger,  Argument,  Bitterness,  Big- 
otry, Brutality,  Coldness,  Carelessness,

tion, Sadness,  Sorrow,  Trouble,  Vexation, 
Vanity,  Weakness,  Worry,  Wasting  of 
Energy,  Force  or  Prana  in  any  direction. 

I  know  that  conscious  growth  means  per- 
sistent effort.  I  know  that  every  experi- 
ence wherein  happiness,  harmony  and 
knowledge  are  lacking,  can  be  turned  into 
positive  Good  through  this  lower  self,  or 
objective  mind-training,  or  discipline.  "I 
can!  I  will!  I  dare!  I  do!  lam!" 

I  want  a  memory  of  all  that  I  have  ever 
read  or  studied,  and  a  spiritual  judgment 
to  separate  the  good  in  all  things,  the  true 
and  the  beautiful,  from  the  so-called  error, 
or,  more  truly,  ignorance. 


MY  COVENANT  39 

I  want,  and  demand,  entrance  to  the 
Universal  Mind,  to  the  Universal  Memory 
of  Pure  Intellect  and  Pure  Reason — Cos- 
mic Consciousness.  I  want  these  Powers 
and  Gifts  that  I  may  the  better  serve  man- 
kind. I  want  to  remember  and  reproduce 
in  expression,  all  that  I  may  read,  observe, 
or  hear  in  the  future.  To  forget  is  impos- 
sible! 

I  know  that  I  am  my  own  God  and  my 
own  Devil.  I  am  manifesting  God,  when 
I  am  doing  Good,  the  Devil  when  I  know 
that  I  am  doing  Wrong  or  non-Good. 
Thus  I  can  always  judge  myself.  I  will 
always  say,  "I  do."  I  will  always  say,  "I 
can." 

Then  I  become  Faith-conscious  that  I 
can,  I  will,  I  dare,  I  do — also  that  I  and 
the  Father-Mother  are  ONE,  also  that  I 
am,  potentially,  a  God-Man.  And  what 
else  could  I  be,  without  being  God?  And 
who  is  God?  Do  we  know  Him-Her,  ex- 
cept through  man,  Our-Self?  God  is 
Spirit — I  am  also  Spirit:  therefore  I  am, 
potentially,  God,  unfolding  each  day,  each 
moment,  in  fact.  I  recognize  Myself,  the 
I,  the  "I  Am,"  as  the  "I  am  that  I  Am"  of 
the  Universe.  To  say,  knowingly,  "I  am 


40  MY  LIFE-WORK 

God,"  is  the  highest  praise  I  can  give  to 
God.  Therefore,  having  become  thus  con- 
scious, I  do  assert  and  affirm  the  unfold- 
ment  of  the  God-man  that  I  am. 

I  am  Spirit!  Spirit  is  All!  Therefore 
I  have  All  that  I  desire;  for  the  All  con- 
tains my  Ideal,  whom  I  have  Covenanted 
to  see,  hear,  touch,  and  manifest. 

In  this  Spirit  is  my  Life!  Therefore  I 
am  Life !  Life  manifests  in  me  as  health 
of  body  and  mind  in  all  its  manifold  activ- 
ities. I  radiate  this  Health ! 

All  my  patients  feel  this  radiation  from 
me.  I  am  giving  my  body  all  the  fluid  it 
requires  to  do  its  work  properly,  and  it  will 
respond  by  keeping  my  body  in  a  normal 
condition,  giving  me  health  and  strength, 
making  my  body  a  pure  channel  for  the 
Spirit  to  function  through.  All  this  I  radi- 
ate to  my  patients,  and  to  all  with  whom  I 
associate.  They  are  Spirit  and  in  Spirit 
we  meet,  and,  in  this  thought  I  help  them. 
Thus  I  teach  that  Spirit  is  Perfection. 

I  am  therefore  Perfect  in  the  Spirit,  and 
I  will  that  Perfection  shall  manifest,  day 
by  day,  in  my  life,  in  my  words,  in  my 
thoughts,  in  my  deeds,  and  in  my  loves.  I 
love  the  good,  therefore  I  do  no  wrong.  I 


MY  COVENANT  41 

love  the  truth,  therefore  I  cannot  in  any 
way  be  false  to  myself,  or  any  one.  I  love 
the  beautiful,  therefore  my  manifestations 
in  all  ways  are  harmonious  and  pure,  and 
fitted  to  the  time  and  place.  I,  as  Spirit, 
do  not  fail  in  any  endeavor.  What  I  be- 
gin, I  complete  in  an  orderly  manner.  I 
am  Spirit,  and,  as  such,  I  am  sufficient  for 
all  the  duties  and  requirements  of  life.  I 
do  not  need  the  praise,  nor  the  good  opin- 
ions of  men;  it  is  enough  for  me  to  have 
the  approval  of  my  own  conscience,  and  to 
realize  that  I  follow  the  judgments  and  de- 
cisions of  my  Higher  Reason  or  Self.  I 
am  God's  Child — In  Truth  I  am  a  God- 
man. 

I  AFFIRM — I  EXIST — I  THINK — I 
KNOW — I  AM 

My  judgments  are  righteous,  for  I  love 
Justice — and  as  Spirit, 

I  am  Justice. 

I  am  Self-governed,  and  the  opinion  of 
the  world  does  not  sway  me.  I  am  suffi- 
cient unto  myself.  I  am  Self-reliant,  and 
in  Spirit  is  my  strength.  I  am  therefore 
firm.  I  am  not  induced  by  fear,  love,  de- 
sire, or  by  any  consideration,  to  swerve 
from  that  which  I  think  is  just,  right  or 


42  MY  LIFE-WORK 

best.  I  have  an  excellent  memory;  it  is 
under  my  control.  I  can  at  any  time  recall 
any  incident  with  all  its  details. 

The  Book  of  Memory,  containing  all  I 
have  ever  studied,  or  read,  or  seen,  or 
thought,  or  felt,  is  to  me,  through  desire, 
as  the  printed  page  is  to  me  through  the 
eye. 

I  have  language;  I  can  readily  express 
whatever  thoughts  I  may  desire  to  express. 
All  the  language  I  have  ever  heard  and  all 
that  I  have  ever  read,  is  at  my  command. 
I  love  to  express  myself  in  words,  and  I  am 
a  persuasive  speaker — am  logical,  co- 
herent, fluent  and  convincing.  I  ever  speak 
from  the  love  of  Truth;  therefore  I  have 
inspiration.  The  fountain  of  Truth  is 
open  to  me  at  need  and  will.  I  am  Spirit; 
therefore  I  am  Wisdom,  and  do  not  speak 
anything  but  the  truth.  I  am  Spirit;  there- 
fore I  live  in  Spirit.  In  Spirit  I  am  in 
Communion  with  individualized  spirits 
wherever  they  are  in  the  Universe,  and  I 
am  conscious  of  this  whenever  I  desire.  I 
may  in  Spirit,  at  will,  find  Rest,  Strength, 
Wisdom,  Power,  Truth,  Companionship, 
Inspiration,  my  Better-Self,  my  Real-Life, 
my  Happiness,  or  touch  any  Hierarchy  that 


MY  COVENANT  43 

I  desire  to  contact.  I  am  happy  in  the 
recognition  of  this  Union  with  the  ALL- 
GOOD,  the  ALL- WISE,  and  in  the  recogni- 
tion that  He-She  is  manifesting,  and  will 
continue  to  manifest  Their  Power  and  Per- 
fection. I  am  finding  all  that  I  desire,  in 
the  revealings  that  They  are  making  to  me. 
From  Spirit  I  draw  all  I  need  for  my  con- 
scious life  and  all  that  I  need  for  the  ex- 
pression of  Spirit.  I  am  a  good  judge  of 
the  size,  weight  and  color  of  whatever  I 
have  to  deal  with.  I  calculate  well — I  well 
employ  the  expenditure  of  my  time,  my  ef- 
forts, my  means,  and  my  emotions. 

I  waste  nothing.  I  am  excellent  in  the 
remembrance  of  events  and  places.  I  can 
readily  locate  myself,  and  am  never  lost  in 
whatever  place  I  am  in;  and  I  have  at  all 
times  self-possession,  and  my  thoughts  and 
all  my  intellectual  faculties  are  at  my  com- 
mand. 

As  Spirit,  I  am  Perfection.  That  per- 
fection lies  in  the  Sub-conscious  part  of  my 
mind.  I  therefore  think,  act,  and  live  from 
the  sub-conscious,  with  the  subjective  mind 
controlled  by  the  objective  mind.  The 
harmony  of  the  unity  of  these  two  minds 
is  the  Holy  Marriage  of  the  male  and  fe- 


44  MY  LIFE-WORK 

male  duality  in  each  and  every  man.  I 
draw  at  will,  from  the  sub-conscious,  all 
that  I  need.  I  do  not  think;  but  in  silence 
I  receive  as  I  need,  inspiration,  intuitions, 
clairvoyant  visions  from  the  astral  and 
spirit  side  of  life;  and  I  am  guided,  edu- 
cated, and  made  one,  consciously,  with  the 
ALL,  by  this  flow  from  the  subjective  mind 
into  the  conscious  objective  mind — and 
then  I  manifest  Its  Life.  I  continually 
live  in  the  recognition  of  God,  the  Father- 
Mother,  the  One  who  is  Spirit,  and  in 
whom  is  all  Goodness,  Truth  and  Beauty. 
All  my  conduct  is  inspired  by  this  recogni- 
tion. In  all  my  practice  I  am  Their  Mes- 
senger, bearing  in  my  person,  Their  love  to 
Their  children — my  brothers. 

I  am  thus  the  Great  Physician,  the  Spir- 
itual Healer;  and  my  presence,  my  medi- 
cine, is  infiltrated  by  this  Love,  and  this 
thought  of  Divine  Love :  therefore  all  with 
whom  I  come  in  contact,  are  made  the  bet- 
ter by  the  silent  Virtue  that,  in  the  name 
of  Love  and  Knowledge,  flows  from  us  to 
all. 

I  am  to  remember  that  all  of  the  con- 
ditions that  I  meet  in  my  patients  are  the 
natural  results  of  morbid  emotions,  or  un- 


MY  COVENANT  45 

pleasant  thoughts  they  have  entertained, 
and  that  Pain  is  only  Nature's  method  to 
bring,  in  love,  to  better  manifestation  in 
righteous  thought  and  emotion,  the  god  in 
them:  and  it  is  my  duty  to  so  help  them 
that  they  may  see  God  in  themselves,  and 
manifest  Him-Her.  I  am  the  master  of 
my  own  body.  Every  organ  is  doing  its 
perfect  work. 

All  the  functions  of  my  body  are  health- 
ful, for  I  think  nothing  but  Health  and  I 
feel  nothing  but  Love.  My  food  is  well 
digested,  it  is  well  assimilated;  my  circula- 
tion is  good;  my  nervous  system  is  in  per- 
fect manifestation.  My  body  responds 
readily  to  all  demands,  and  I  am  fresh  and 
vigorous  at  all  times. 

I  am  not  exhausted,  for  Spirit  is  an  In- 
finite Fountain;  and  I  am  constantly  draw- 
ing my  life  from  that  sub-conscious  source 
of  all  Life.  I  never  forget  this  relation  to 
the  One-Source  of  all  manifestation.  I 
never  forget  that  I  am  Spirit;  that  I  am 
Life;  that  I  am  Love;  that  I  am  Truth; 
that  I  am  in  God  and  God  is  in  ME.  I  am 
a  part  of  the  Eternal  Life.  I  live,  habitat, 
in  this  Cosmic  Consciousness — this  Univer- 
sal, Supreme  Consciousness.  I  am  God's 


46  MY  LIFE-WORK 

child.  I  know  that  my  True-Life  is  the 
entire  Obedience  of  the  Human  to  the 
Divine  WILL. 

"Mind  is  the  root  (of  evil)  ;  actions 
proceed  from  the  mind. — If  any  speak  or 
act  from  a  corrupt  mind,  suffering  will  fol- 
low, as  the  dust  follows  the  rolling  wheel." 
—Buddha. 

We  cannot  expect  to  escape  the  result  of 
our  thoughts  and  acts.  We  must  live  an 
unselfish  life,  with  purity  of  heart  and 
mind.  Pure  in  thought,  speech  and  action 
— this  will  lead  to  the  emancipation  of  the 
soul. 

•God  has  been  ever-good,  ever-kind,  ever- 
true,  ever-gracious,  ever-loving,  ever-know- 
ing to  me,  His  Child.  Through  my  sub- 
jective mind  He  has  shown  me  the  God- 
man  dwelling  in  my  Soul,  and  how  to  ob- 
tain the  service  of  this,  my  Higher  Self,  in 
Healing,  Teaching  and  Expression, 
through  the  conscious  Union  of  the  subjec- 
tive and  objective  minds. 

I  will  learn  to  stand  aside  from  myself, 
and  observe  my  own  feelings,  instincts,  im- 
pulses, sensations,  desires,  impressions  and 
perceptions,  and  understand  them  and  gov- 
ern them. 


MY  COVENANT  47 

This  day,  today,  each  day,  I  will  start 
with  thoughts  of  gentleness,  kindness,  good 
temper,  courage,  decision — indeed  in  high 
and  holy  thought.  My  thoughts — the 
action  of  my  objective  and  subjective 
minds,  blended  in  unity  of  action,  shall  be 
so  pure,  clean  and  even-tempered,  that 
nothing  can  disturb  or  destroy  their  power 
of  doing  good,  of  meeting  all  disturbing 
elements  with  love  and  kindness. 

Under  all  circumstances  I  will  keep  an 
even  mind — serene  and  restful,  healthful, 
not  hurried  or  impatient. 

I  know  the  Spirit  within  me  is  Love ;  its 
powers  are  Life,  Energy  and  Wisdom.  I 
will  unite  my  body  with  its  Life  by  con- 
templation; my  soul  with  its  Energy  by 
concentration;  my  mind  with  its  Wisdom 
by  meditation,  until  I  attain  identification 
and  become  Love  Incarnate,  through 
Union  with  the  Divine  One  within — the 
Higher  Self. 

I  have  only  one  thought,  one  prayer,  one 
interior  desire,  during  each  moment  of 
time.  This  is  embraced  in  uBaptise  me." 
The  Baptism  of  the  Holy  Ghost  is  the 
Spirit  of  God  falling  upon  the  believer, 
taking  possession  of  his  faculties,  imparting 


48  MY  LIFE-WORK 

to  him  gifts  not  naturally  his  own — yet  be- 
longing to  him — but  which  qualify  him  for 
the  service  to  which  God  has  called  him. 
To  heal  by  the  Word,  to  teach  by  the 
Word,  to  express  the  Word  that  God  has 
— and  will  in  his  own  good  time,  more  fully 
qualify  me  for,  that  I  may  the  more  fully 
serve  and  love  him — is  my  Ideal.  I  desire 
to  live  by  the  Law  of  Love  and  the  Law 
of  Service. 

I  intend,  by  the  Grace  of  God,  to  cut 
myself  away  from  all  desires,  passions  and 
feelings  that  conflict  with  my  Ideal — as  set 
forth  in  this,  my  Covenant  with  my  Higher 
Self. 

A  perfect  Life  means  perfection  in  lov- 
ing all  that  breathes,  and  in  serving.  This 
is  attained  only  when  man  yields  his  will  to 
God's  will,  and  lets  God's  Life  flow 
through  him,  unchecked  and  unhindered 
by  any  barriers  in  the  lower  personality.— 
Thus  only  can  man  become  merged  in  God. 

My  Psychic  Development  and  Spiritual 
Unfolding  is  defined  herein.  My  Spirit 
neither  develops  nor  evolves;  it  only  un- 
folds into  manifestation  that  which  eter- 
nally lies  within.  My  Spirit,  being  iden- 
tical with  the  Universal  Spirit,  Universal 


MY  COVENANT  49 

Supreme  Consciousness,  can  neither  in- 
crease nor  diminish.  What  I  can  do,  en- 
tering into  conditions  of  time  and  space,  is 
to  turn  outwards  that  which  is  within — and 
turn  attention  outwards  and  slowly  to  con- 
quer, by  its  contact  with  matter,  that  knowl- 
edge of  the  Universe  regarded  as  phe- 
nomenal, which  does  not  come  into  my  con- 
sciousness when  I  am  separated  from  the 
Universal  by  that  delicate  film  of  matter 
which  is  my  vehicle  in  the  nirvanic,  or  spir- 
itual sphere. 

Within  the  above  seed  of  Divinity, 
within  me,  all  possibilities  are  contained. 
By  love  and  service,  I  break  down  all  bar- 
riers and  become  the  God-man  which  is  my 
Ideal.  Psychic  development  depends  en- 
tirely on  the  conditions  of  the  matter  which 
veils  the  Spirit.  It  is  the  evolving  and  de- 
veloping of  form  after  form.  It  deals 
with  matter;  Spiritual  unfolding  deals  with 
Spirit — with  Will,  Intuition,  and  Intellect. 

I  will  work,  wait  and  aspire  in  silence. 
I  will  remember  that  my  truest  adviser,  the 
Self,  is  to  be  found  and  constantly  sought 
within  myself.  I  will  learn  by  experience 
to  know  Its  voice  from  that  of  natural  in- 
stinct or  mere  logic,  and  strengthen  this 


50  MY  LIFE- WORK 

power.  I  will  beware  of  the  illusions  of 
matter,  for  in  the  Self  all  things  are.  I 
will  desire  experience  or  self-knowledge, 
which  is  only  to  be  attained  by  stepping,  so 
to  say,  aside  from  self.  In  the  Spirit,  alone, 
resides  the  great  consciousness  of  the 
Whole. 

I  will  never  forget  the  sublime  truth  that 
"God  is  all  in  all,"  and  that  the  Spirit 
comes  that  we  may  have  life  and  have  it 
more  abundantly;  and  that  out  of  this  life 
the  fulness  of  the  Divine  Love  and  Wisdom 
may  be  revealed.  The  Reality,  I  say,  is 
here — "the  Kingdom  is  at  hand,"  it  is 
within  and  around  every  human  soul.  I 
see  Him-Her  within  me  and  without  me, 
in  everything  and  through  everything,  and 
I  need  no  other  proof  of  the  existence  of 
God.  His  Love  flows  from  my  heart, 
mind  and  soul  in  one  continuous  stream,  as 
Love  and  Service  united. 

Thou  Great  Universal  Supreme  Con- 
sciousness, Father-Mother  God,  which  art 
in  Heaven,  Hallowed  by  Thy  Name.  Thy 
will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  done  in 
Heaven. 

In  this  Covenant  I  invoke  Thee  to  bap- 
tise me,  thy  child,  with  all  the  power  and 


MY  COVENANT  51 

vision  herein  defined,  that  I  may  the  better 
love  and  serve  Thee,  in  Love,  in  Knowl- 
edge and  in  Truth — thus  attaining  my  Spir- 
itual Ideal. 

I  thank  Thee  for  all  the  seeming  adverse 
conditions  in  life  that  have  come  to  me.  I 
have  ever  treated  them  courteously,  for 
Thou  didst  send  them  for  my  betterment. 
I  have  been  thankful,  not  only  for  all  the 
good  that  came  to  me,  but  also  thankful 
for  the  obstacles  thrown  into  my  path,  as 
only  in  this  wise  I  realized  my  strength  and 
power  of  character.  I  will  ever  be  thank- 
ful for  what  Thou  sendest  me  and  also  for 
what  I  may  never  receive,  no  matter  how 
strongly  my  personality  may  wish  or  desire 
it.  Lead  Thou  me  on — Thy  Will  be  done  ! 

I  will  manifest  what  I  affirm,  what  I 
think.  I  manifest  consciously  in  this  body, 
and  I  also  unconsciously  manifest  that 
which  I  am.  All  my  conduct  is  limited  by 
my  thinking,  or  want  of  thinking.  Through 
manifestation,  I  am  transmuting  LOVE  into 
knowledge,  and  intuition  into  reason.  I 
have  done  much  of  this  heretofore,  un- 
consciously; now  I  will  do  it  consciously. 
By  unconscious  choice  I  have  lived  hither- 
to ;  now,  by  conscious  choice,  I  will  control 


52  MY  LIFE-WORK 

my  life.  Involuntarily  I  have  chosen  and 
moulded  my  life,  and  now  am  not  alto- 
gether pleased  with  all  the  results.  Now  I 
will  voluntarily  choose,  and  will  mould  my 
life  into  manifestations  of  Health,  Growth, 
Joy,  Bliss,  Opulence;  and  all  that  I  know 
is  within  my  Ideal.  What  God  is,  I  am; 
for  I  was  made  by  Them — in  Their  Image. 

Therefore,  I  am  to  so  live  that  the 
Divine  in  me  shall  manifest  Itself  in  Its 
fulness.  God  is  perfect !  Therefore  in  me 
is  perfection.  I  must  find  It ! 

I,  the  spiritual  Ego,  by  affirmation  am  to 
make  perfection  manifest:  for  Their  Om- 
nipotence Being  is  in  me ;  I  am  that  which  I 
affirm.  If  I  affirm  that  I  am  sick,  or  weak, 
or  strong,  or  sad,  or  wise,  or  foolish,  or 
poor,  I  am  that  which  I  affirm,  because  the 
world  in  which  I  live  is  the  world  of  Emo- 
tion, Feeling  and  Thought;  and  this  world 
I  make  by  my  affirmation — for  I  affirm 
what  I  think,  and  think  what  I  affirm. 
Thus  I  make  my  world  one  of  Joy  or  Sor- 
row, of  Riches  or  Poverty,  by  making  my 
affirmation  the  conditions  of  my  World.  I 
am  Spirit !  I  am  Perfection !  The  Ego  is 
perfect,  even  as  its  Father-Mother.  In- 
finite Spirit  is  perfect! 


MY  COVENANT  53 

This  thought — no  matter  in  what  lan- 
guage expressed — means  perfect  manifest- 
ation. I,  as  an  Ego,  am  perfect  now,  and 
I  will  my  body  and  mind  to  manifest  that 
perfection.  I  will  mould  my  body  into  the 
ideal  I  have  of  perfection,  in  order  that 
the  Ideal-Spirit  can  manifest  through  it, 
even  as  the  artist  moulds  his  ideal  into 
stone,  or  paints  it  on  canvas.  I  will  do  it 
in  the  same  way  that  he  does,  and  that  is 
by  holding  that  ideal  before  my  mind  until 
it  becomes  real. 

I  can  be  my  own  Destiny.  I  can  be  the 
determining  factor  in  my  own  Evolution. 
I  can  and  will  be  master !  I  affirm  Trust, 
Desire,  Possession;  for  Truth  shall  move 
me  in  thought,  speech  and  action.  And 
within  all  of  this  I  act  with  this  affirmation 
as  the  foundation  of  every  activity;  "Lead 
Thou  me  on."  uThy  Will  be  done."  Thus 
knowing  the  source  of  the  Energy,  the 
Force,  the  Prana,  that  is  doing  all  the 
work,  I  do  believe  in  It,  which  is  Truth ;  I 
Trust  this  Truth;  I  desire  this  Truth;  I 
possess  this  Truth,  and  I  will  to  manifest 
this  Truth. 

I  affirm  Truth;  for  "I  AM"  that  Truth 
which  lies  potentially  in  the  Soul.  I  possess 


54  MY  LIFE-WORK 

all  Truth,  for  that  is  my  Ideal, — all  Truth 
is  mine.  I  am  Truth!  I  am  one  with 
Truth.  Truth  shall  manifest  in  me.  I  am 
free  in  Truth;  therefore  I  ask  no  authority, 
but,  without  let  or  hindrance,  Truth  finds 
Expression  in  me.  I  will  think  what  is 
true.  I  will  speak  what  is  true;  will  act 
what  is  true  to  me,  no  matter  what  others 
may  say,  for  I  am  Truth.  I  will  not  think 
about  conduct,  for  Truth  will  take  care  of 
that,  and  I  will  only  think  of  Truth  as 
guiding  me,  as  the  Mover  within  me.  I 
love  Truth  so  well,  that  it  will  mould  my 
life  into  Conduct  as  naturally  as  it  moulds 
my  body  into  beauty,  grace,  and  fulness  of 
vitality. 

Truth  alone  shall  be  my  Creator  and 
my  Redeemer.  In  Truth  I  can  do  no 
wrong;  in  Truth  I  can  make  no  mistakes; 
in  Truth  I  cannot  be  sick;  in  Truth  I  can- 
not die;  therefore  I  will  not  think  of  these 
things ;  for,  in  Truth,  they  do  not  exist,  they 
are  not.  I,  in  truth,  am  pure,  wise,  strong 
and  immortal.  In  Truth  I  am  protected. 
No  evil  can  befall  me,  hence  I  do  not  fear. 
Nothing  can  disturb  me,  hence  I  am  Peace. 
Truth  is  mine,  and  I  want  not.  I  seek  not; 
I  ask  not;  I  pray  not,  save  as  I  constantly 


MY  COVENANT  55 

give  thanks  for  all  I  have,  for  all  is  Good. 
If  I  would  pray,  I've  naught  to  say  but  this, 
"that  God  may  be  God  still;  for  Him  to 
live,  is  still  to  give,  and  sweeter  than  my 
wish,  His  Will."  Truth  is  in  my  Soul,  and 
it  shall  have  uninterrupted  flow  through  it. 
God  is  Indwelling  Spirit,  Law,  Intelligence, 
and  I  will  rely  upon  Him-Her.  UI  am,  O 
God,  and  surely  Thou  must  be." 

I  am  Spirit.  Spirit  is  Supreme.  Spirit 
is  Universal  Supreme  Consciousness. 
Spirit  is  Infinite,  Therefore  any  limitation 
upon  Spirit  or  upon  any  manifestation  of 
Spirit,  is  error.  Nothing  is  impossible  for 
me;  for  Truth,  Knowledge  and  Love  are 
infinite,  and  I  desire  only  these.  In  God,  in 
Spirit,  are  no  defects,  no  failures.  uHe 
leadeth  me."  No  matter  what  comes  or 
what  I  do,  there  is  no  mistake.  My  only 
arbiter  in  the  external  life,  is  my  mani- 
fested Conscience,  Intuition  and  Reason. 
I  have  followed  them;  this,  the  above,  is 
the  result;  and  it  is  right.  To  doubt  would 
be  to  dethrone  the  Indwelling  God  that  has 
lived  me,  and  brought  me  to  the  Now  in 
my  Evolution. 

I  will  love  consciously  in  the  current  of 
Divine  Will,  and  let  It  have  Its  way

through  me,   for  UA11  is  Good."     All  is 
Love,  All  is  God.    Therefore  I  am  Good. 

I  am  Love,  therefore  God  dwells  in  me. 
I  am  Wisdom;  I  am  Power;  I  let  Him- 
Her  manifest  day  by  day  as  my  will;  His 
Will  and  my  will  are  One-Will.  Thus  all 
of  daily  bread  and  sustenance,  of  Love  and 
Truth,  come  to  me.  I  can  do  anything  I 
ought,  and  I  will  to  do  all  that  is  right  and 
true.  I  desire  Truth  and  Love,  therefore 
Truth  and  Love  control  my  life  and  I  can 
do  no  wrong,  nor  can  I  meet  with  defeat  or 
make  mistakes ;  for  God  doeth  the  work  of 
my  soul,  which  is  Theirs. 

I  am  in  God,  He  is  in  me;  hence  all  His 
is  mine  and  I  am  His.  I  have  everything — 
money,  lands,  friends,  reputation,  power, 
success ;  so  day  by  day,  as  I  need  anything, 
it  comes  to  me,  as  is  His  Will  to  manifest 
through  me.  Unlimited  is  the  flow.  Un- 
limited my  power  to  receive  and  also  to 
give.  "All  mine  is  thine,"  the  Sky-Soul 
saith.  uWhat  I  am,  thou  must  become; 
richer  and  richer,  breath  by  breath,  immor- 
tal gain,  immortal  roam.  And  since  all 
His  mine  also  is,  life's  gift  out-runs  my 
fancies  far  and  drowns  the  dream  in  larger 
stream,  as  morning  drinks  the  morning

star."  I  am  Spirit.  I  am  pledged,  Cov- 
enanted, to  Truth  and  Love,  Service  and 
Knowledge.  I  will  develop  true  and  noble 
loves  and  right  desires;  the  actions  will  take 
care  of  themselves.  I  will  act  and  live  this 
that  has  come  to  me,  as  the  Beautiful,  the 
True  and  the  Good.  I  know  the  Right, 
because  I  love  the  Good.  I  know  the  Way, 
because  I  love  the  Path.  I  have  the  Power, 
because  Spirit  is  Infinite,  Universal  Su- 
preme Consciousness;  I  am  a  free  child  of 
Spirit,  and  as  Spirit  I  can  do  no  wrong. 

I  will  to  love  rightly,  to  think  rightly, 
to  speak  rightly,  to  act  rightly. 

I  hereby  make  This 
STATEMENT  of  INDIVIDUALITY. 

I.  I  AM.  I  am  Light.  I  am  Life.  I 
am  Love.  I  am  Knowledge.  I  am  Spirit. 
I  am  Power.  I  am  Individualized.  I 
dominate  my  body.  I  AM  I,  penetrating 
every  atom  of  the  Body  with  Light,  Life 
and  Love;  thus  am  I  conscious  in  Love, 
Knowledge,  Wisdom  and  Freedom.  I  AM 
I,  the  Spirit  of  Power,  vitalizing  every 
atom  of  the  Body.  I  AM  I,  bringing  every 
atom  of  Personality  into  harmonious  vibra- 
tion with  the  "I  Am  That  I  Am."  I  AM 
I,  sending  forth  the  vibration  of  the  Spirit

of  Power,  that,  in  Truth,  I  am;  surround- 
ing my  personality  with  the  magnetic  at- 
mosphere of  the  "I  Am  that  I  Am."  I  am  I, 
perfectly  individualized  by  Spirit,  which  is 
my  Substance,  in  Soul,  which  is  my  inde- 
structible Self,  and  in  body,  which  is  my 
personality,  surrounded  by  the  impene- 
trable atmosphere  of  the  Spirit  of  Light, 
Love,  Power,  Knowledge,  Wisdom  and 
Freedom;  radiating  from  the  invincible 
center  of  my  Being,  casting  forth  all  unde- 
sirable things,  penetrating  to  the  uttermost 
bounds  of  the  Universe,  wheresoever  my 
thought  goeth,  and  attracting  only  that 
which  I  desire.  I  am  I,  Omnipotent  in  my 
own  Individuality,  dominating  all  below  me 
with  Love  only.  I  am  I,  fearless  and  free ! 
I  am  I,  and  my  Spiritual  Will  is  Law,  and 
must  be  obeyed  by  My-self.  I  am  I,  a  law 
unto  myself  in  all  things.  I  am  God's 
child — I  am  immortal. 

This  is  my  Covenant  with  my  Higher- 
Self,  the  "I  AM"  within  me,  the  "Indwell- 
ing God,"  that  He-She  can  the  better  mani- 
fest through  me,  through  my  body  and  my 
mind.  May  all  beings  be  happy.  May  all 
beings  be  peaceful.  May  all  beings  be

blissful.     May  all  beings  come    into    the 
Light. 

Thus  I  speak  to  the  North. 
Thus  I  speak  to  the  South. 
Thus  I  speak  to  the  East. 
Thus  I  speak  to  the  West. 
As  Above  So  Below.
